Everyone is so chill just eating bomb tacos on the parking lot. The salsa bar is great. Aguas frescas were really good too

Literally is like eating street tacos in Mexico. Good tacos, plenty of parking. Not tables for eating (you can use your own car). The area feels unsafe, but the lot is fully fenced

While driving in LA I came across this taco place on Alameda St, and I was happy I did. The tacos were amazing and delicious. Everything was so fresh and tasty. Lots of option to choose from, they even have potatoes that comes with your order. The staff were also amazing and friendly. Great job guys, will be back for more.

Pretty good!! Not as good as Native Tongue (Calgary) but honestly amazing . Worth coming! They accept both cash and cards. 100% recommend. Quantity and flavours are great! Zero complaints. There is security here too! Parking was pretty good as well.

They load you up on the meat for sure at this place. I ordered 3 carne asada and 1 pastor taco. I got there at the perfect time and got the carne asada right when they were finished cooking it on the grill. It had both fatty and leaner pieces and was tender juicy and flavorful. Pastor taco was missing the pineapple, but that is just a nit pick. It was fatty and juicy. All they hand you off the grill is the meat and tortilla, and you get to put whatever you want toppings wise. A decent amount of toppings are available, including green and red salsa. Both grilled and raw onions, roasted potatoes, radishes, and grilled jalapeños Price wise, it is an absolute steal. The total came out to be $9 for 4 tacos. It is situated in a parking lot and they don't have any chairs or anything. If you don't have a car, there are a couple street light poles you can sit on. But dont be expecting a table or anything like some street taco vendors have.

One of the best tacos in LA. Very flavorful and cheap tacos. Comes with a small potato for free. Lots of self served condiments like onions, radish, green, red sauce. The sign says cash only but they also accept credit card with service fee. There's security there that will help point out open parking spots
